Just bought a P reg corsa sport 1.4.. Ran completely fine and today when a started the car it seemed weird.. When a looked at the rev counter the rev's were dropping to just below one k and then shooting straight back upto just below 2k when a drove off even with the clutch it in and out ut would sit at 2k :/ anyone got any idea what this could be ?

mine does that, sometimes it will run ok other times it stayed revved up to 2k when the clutch is pressed, i just turn it off at traffic light for a few seconds and restart it, usually sorts it out
